But I wonder if it works??? I know this stuff intellectually, but it doesn't always translate to actually resisting temptation.

Do you know anything about neural pathways in the brain?

They are like a computer program that once it is started, it runs out a procedure.

You can change the procedure, though -- which is how temptations get successfully resisted! Some temptations do go away for good. I quit smoking over a decade ago; at first I thought I'd die if I couldn't have a cigarette. Now I think I'll do if I inhale second-hand smoke!

I wonder if alcoholics ever get to that stage, of not even wanting to look at a bottle of vodka or wine?

I wonder too.

I think there's more to addiction than the substance.
